بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ
Sa ala saaa'ilum bi'azaa binw-waaqi'
One demanding, demanded the chastisement which must befall
لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ
Lilkaafireen laisa lahoo daafi'
The unbelievers-- there is none to avert it--
مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ
Minal laahi zil ma'aarij
From Allah, the Lord of the ways of Ascent.
تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍۢ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍۢ
Ta'rujul malaaa'ikatu war Roohu ilaihi fee yawmin kaana miqdaaruhoo khamseena alfa sanah
To Him ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years.
فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا
Fasbir ssabran jameelaa
Therefore endure with a goodly patience.
إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا
Inaahum yarawnahoo ba'eedaa
Surely they think it to be far off,
وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا
Wa naraahu qareebaa
And We see it nigh.
يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ
Yawma takoonus samaaa'u kalmuhl
On the day when the heaven shall be as molten copper
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ
Wa takoonul jibaalu kal'ihn
And the mountains shall be as tufts of wool
وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا
Wa laa yas'alu hameemun hameemaa
And friend shall not ask of friend
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ
Yubassaroonahum; ya waddul mujrimu law yaftadee min 'azaabi yawma'izim bibaneeh
(Though) they shall be made to see each other. The guilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by (sacrificing) his children,
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ
Wa saahibatihee wa akheeh
And his wife and his brother
وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ
Wa faseelathil latee tu'weeh
And the nearest of his kinsfolk who gave him shelter,
وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ
Wa man fil ardi jamee'an summa yunjeeh
And all those that are in the earth, (wishing) then (that) this might deliver him.
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ
Kallaa innahaa lazaa
By no means! Surely it is a flaming fire
نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ
Nazzaa'atal lishshawaa
Dragging by the head,
تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Tad'oo man adbara wa tawallaa
It shall claim him who turned and fled (from truth),
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ
W jama'a fa aw'aa
And amasses (wealth) then shuts it up.
۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
Innal insaana khuliqa haloo'aa
Surely man is created of a hasty temperament
إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا
Izaa massahush sharru jazoo'aa
Being greatly grieved when evil afflicts him
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
Wa izaa massahul khairu manoo'aa
And niggardly when good befalls him
إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
Illal musalleen
Except those who pray,
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ
Allazeena hum 'alaa Salaatihim daaa'imoon
Those who are constant at their prayer
وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
Wallazeena feee amwaalihim haqqum ma'loom
And those in whose wealth there is a fixed portion.
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
Lissaaa 'ili walmahroom
For him who begs and for him who is denied (good)
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Wallazeena yusaddiqoona bi yawmid Deen
And those who accept the truth of the judgment day
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
Wallazeena hum min 'azaabi Rabbihim mushfiqoon
And those who are fearful of the chastisement of their Lord--
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ
Inna 'azaaba Rabbihim ghairu maamoon
Surely the chastisement of their Lord is (a thing) not to be felt secure of--
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ
Wallazeena hum lifuroo jihim haafizoon
And those who guard their private parts,
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
Illaa 'alaaa azwaajihim aw maa malakat aymaanuhum fainnahum ghairu maloomeen
Except in the case of their wives or those whom their right hands possess-- for these surely are not to be blamed,
فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ
Famanib taghaa waraaa'a zaalika fa ulaaa'ika humul 'aadoon
But he who seeks to go beyond this, these it is that go beyond the limits--
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ
Wallazeena hum li amaa naatihim wa 'ahdihim raa'oon
And those who are faithful to their trusts and their covenant
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ
Wallazeena hum bishahaadaatihim qaaa'imoon
And those who are upright in their testimonies,
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
Wallazeena hum 'alaa salaatihim yuhaafizoon
And those who keep a guard on their prayer,
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ
Ulaaa'ika fee jannaatim mukramoon
Those shall be in gardens, honored.
فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ
Famaa lil lazeena kafaroo qibalaka muhti'een
But what is the matter with those who disbelieve that they hasten on around you,
عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
'Anil yameeni wa 'anish shimaali 'izeen
On the right hand and on the left, in sundry parties?
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ
Ayatma'u kullum ri'im minhum anyyudkhala jannata Na'eem
Does every man of them desire that he should be made to enter the garden of bliss?
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
Kallaaa innaa khalaq nahum mimmaa ya'lamoon
By no means! Surely We have created them of what they know.
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ
Falaaa uqsimu bi Rabbil mashaariqi wal maghaaribi innaa laqaadiroon
But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We are certainly able
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
'Alaaa an nubaddila khairam minhum wa maa Nahnu bimasbooqeen
To bring instead (others) better than them, and We shall not be overcome.
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
Fazarhum yakhoodoo wa yal'aboo hattaa yulaaqoo yaw mahumul lazee yoo'adoon
Therefore leave them alone to go on with the false discourses and to sport until they come face to face with that day of theirs with which they are threatened;
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًۭا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍۢ يُوفِضُونَ
Yawma yakhrujoona minal ajdaasi siraa'an ka anna hum ilaa nusubiny yoofidoon
The day on which they shall come forth from their graves in haste, as if they were hastening on to a goal,
خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ
Khaashi'atan absaaruhum tarhaquhum zillah; zaalikal yawmul lazee kaanoo yoo'adoon
Their eyes cast down; disgrace shall overtake them; that is the day which they were threatened with.
